Each to their own IMO, if you wanna fish for these “gorillion fish” then leave them to it, if you wanna fish a big pit with 20 fish in it then do it. To many people worry about what others do within all aspects of life, if they're happy then who cares.

Here we go AGAIN the **** side of carpfishing.If you don't fish these places or have any interest in them then turn the other cheek.It happens every time a big fish is caught,oh its a wrong un,oh its from a **** water blah blah ****ing blah.The young lad has chose where he is fishing and caught a bloody big fish,well done to him and let's hope he dont get any abuse online from sad keyboard warriors.

I get the feeling that a lot of the ‘state of carp fishing' groaners don't get to do a lot of rewarding fishing. If you're happy doing your own thing on your own water fishing for the fish you want to catch who cares about these holiday venues?!

People are very happy doing their own thing on places like Wraysbury until the day they cannot.
Nothing magical ever came from chucking money at it.
People have spent absolutely hours reading/watching stories about many anglers doing time on places like Wraysbury. None of us will be inspired by chapters written on the banks of Holme Fen or dare I say it, RK. Simple as that.

That angler who turns up with a £1000 electric wheel barrow and gps guided bait boat moaning that carp fishing isn't what it used to be

Spot on braders.
I do chuckle at the posts that moan about carp fishing being money driven when there are similar posts about having a 3 Rod set up, bivvy, cooker, trolley etc. that cost as much as my house... (insert north west house price joke here) ... if you don't like the beast then stop feeding it maybe...
Well done the lad.
Edit - noj ... great minds...

If you want to start a thread about what YOU think is adequate tackle to catch fish, go right ahead, I don't care. The point I'm making is the ridiculous stock levels of some of these places; don't even try to conflate the two and have you sly little dig.

I'm not knocking some young gun catching a whopper from Holme Fen, to the point I'd say well done. I've said this of places like Grenville, these places have little merit.
Places like Wrasbury back in the day with its 25 to 30 fish in 140 acres, now to my mind that is meritorious, so much so that's why people like Dave Lane, Jim Shelley, Terry Hearn etc are in large part the anglers that they are with all of the associated trimmings like sponsorship deals etc.that came after their captures from such waters, not that the latter is what it's all about for me in the slightest.
To my mind catching a huge carp from Holme Fen is not much different from fools shooting a hog In a pen which is full of them dressed in cammos and the full hunting attire, well done that man 👏

Well said mate, each to their own and enjoy it and don't give a toss about what others say or think. If it makes you smile your doing it right.
